One Life By Hedley (Song)

Here is my analysis on my song of choice

 

Oh, one life
Oh one life
Oh one life

One chance, two lips free fallin’ we’re about to lose our grip now
Five minutes too late, can’t be messing with fate it’s time to get loud
‘Cause we’ve been up when we should have been sleeping
We’ve been down when we could have been high
We’ll come alive, tonight

Oh it’s a great big world and you’ll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up, no
If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up

The last thing you wanna make’s your first mistake but it’s too late now
So get up, get ready not everybody’s betting against you anyhow
‘Cause we’ve been up when we should have been sleeping
We’ve been down when we could have been high
We’ll come alive, tonight

Oh it’s a great big world and you’ll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up, no
If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up

If you stop and think
You might start to sink
You can’t get it if you don’t keep givin’
Can’t get it if you don’t keep givin’

Oh it’s a great big world and you’ll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up, no
If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You’ve got one life, one life
Don’t stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up
Don’t stop, don’t stop live it up
